Note it is possible for this to return the same pseudo-random number multiple times, so you may want to test existence of the new file before potentially clobbering something that already exists.
It also won’t be padded out to three digits (i.e. you can have
test_file_1.mp4as a result). I’ll leave this as an exercise for the reader for now.
